Research Intrest

Dr Decock her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying the aggressive behavior and poor clinical phenotype of triple negative breast cancer. In addition to basic biological research, she also conducts translational research into novel adoptive T cell therapeutic modalities for triple negative breast cancer.
